Squirrels are very frequently hunted with a .22. It works great for squirrels, but (like a pellet rifle) can be lethal to a human - especially if you shoot them in the head.

And there’s legitimate reasons to shoot squirrels. I used to do it for an exotic animal preserve because their population would explode and they’d eat everything in site.

Back when it was under the price of 2 games a year it was a pretty good deal. Thinking of buying the next Halo and Forza? Get gamepass and save money, and have the opportunity to try a bunch of other stuff you wouldn’t have played.

There’s amazing games like Hades and Slay the Spire that I wouldn’t have been interested enough in to purchase that are now among my favorites because Gamepass let me try them.

Honestly, I think the better route would be to keep it cheap but not include new releases. Let people access the back catalog affordably with games that aren’t brining in much new revenue anyway. People will discover games and genres they otherwise would not have played, which will create new markets and boost ssales of new releases.

He was President of the United States in 2020.

I know ow history is a hard subject, but it was 5 fucking years ago.

He was President for ALL of 2020.

He lost an election in November, but he was President until January 20, 2021.

I think both stances need more nuance. Yeah - if your company doesn’t hire someone that can fulfill your essential duties while you’re gone, that’s on them.

But when you do have someone who can cover your duties while you’re gone, it makes sense that you can’t all take off the same day. I work in municipal government for a small city, and my boss and I are each other’s backups. We’ve worked together for years, and we haven’t taken the same day off yet, but both take several weeks a year. Heck - tomorrow there’s an annual conference we both should attend, and we alternate each year who goes because someone has to hold down the fort.

The franchise basically created the microtransaction.

As much flak as Oblivion got for horse armor, the Sims did it first.

I don’t know if it affects dairy directly, but there’s a screw worm infestation in Mexico spreading to the US that’s having a huge impact on beef.

Careful now, they’re about to classify criticism of capitalism terrorism.

343 is remastering Halo 1 again?

We won’t save your private information. But the third party services - some of which are owned by the same parent company as us - absolutely will.

But they don’t have the fucking power. They’re letting Trump do whatever he wants, and eroding their own authority in the process.

But even you don’t know how that works.

Because 1/4cm precision would be ± 0.125cm

Okay.

How do you describe a measurement of 1 and a quarter of a centimeter precise to 1/4cm without either over-stating or under-stating precision of the measurement?

Decimal only allows you to increase or decrease precision by a factor of 10.

But at the same time, fractions are actually a better way to measure precisely. If you need to record a precision that’s greater than a whole unit without being 10x as precise, decimal kinda sucks. If your precision is 1/8 a cm, you either have to round up or imply that the precision is accurate to 0.001 cm.

You can always play with a denominator to show greater precision with fractional measurements (1/8 vs 2/16 vs 8/64), but you can’t easily imply lower precision with decimal.

They started with the immigrants and “criminals.” Then they openly said to imprison the homeless. Now they’re targeting comedians, judges, sexual minorities, and the neurodivergent while laying the groundwork to declare political opponents terrorists.

That’s what I was referring to by hacking stuff together to work.

Customers shouldn’t have to do that.

As much hate as they get for their recent Apple-like behavior, Bambu is kinda the king of “it just works” right now. An A1 or A1 mini offer spectacular performance for the price for people who want to just start printing stuff.

If you want something enclosed for printing more advanced materials, however, there is more competition on the pricing front.

Their console strategy is squarely aimed at Gamepass, which is a good deal for many gamers even with Steam. My ROG Ally has both Xbox and Steam games on it, and I probably do split time between them 50/50.

My series S shit the bed literally yesterday.
